about

'Хвала!' (Hvala!) translates to 'Thank You!' in the Serbian-Bosnian-Croatian-Montenegrin language, encapsulating the whirlwind of adventures that led us (The OMY) to Belgrade, Serbia. It felt like an immediate plunge into Cyrillic, socialist-era tenement blocks, and a rush of memories from our Moscow childhood. Everything seemed oddly familiar! However, later, we realized each of us had our own inner journey—moments of reflection, celebration, simply living. The character in 'Хвала!' seems to mirror this: grappling to navigate life, seeking clarity but ending up in chaos. Yet, all they needed was a simple 'Thank You' to themselves. It's an immigrant's anthem, straightforward like that. So, if you're out there, give yourself that immigrant's handshake before it slips away!

lyrics

Stare peći
Stare kade
Kupujemo stare bojlere
Stare radijatore
Svo staro otpadno gvožđe
Kupujemo
Staro gvožđe
Kupujemo

В белградской канаве
Крехтит пылесос
На красной этикете
Приказано дружить
Спагетти на стенах
С улыбкой на лице
Пусть я не дома
Но некуда спешить

Счастье и свобода
Наша мечта
На ум приходят мне
Простые слова

Hvala hvala vam
Hvala hvala богам
Hvala hvala vam
Hvala hvala богам

Hvala hvala vam
Hvala hvala богам
Hvala hvala vam
Hvala hvala богам

Красные крыши
Не дают мне уснуть
Мы сразу закурили
Не успев и вдохнуть
Izlaz или ulaz
Мне надо выходить
Извини izvini
Троллейбус тормозит

Разбитый асфальт
Под ногами скрипит
Но в сердцах горит
Надежда

Hvala hvala vam
Hvala hvala богам
Hvala hvala vam
Hvala hvala богам

Hvala hvala vam
Hvala hvala богам
Hvala hvala vam
Hvala hvala богам

Я верёвочку сучу
Я бутылочку кручу
Все что хочешь здесь найду
Все что хочешь здесь пропью

Я бутылочку верчу
Мимо Славии бреду
Все что хочешь здесь найду
Все что хочешь здесь пропью
